Nintendo 3DS

Line 110:

The 3DS can be used as a controller in {{forwiiu}} either by connecting a copy of both games or via the [[Smash Controller]] software. It was released for $0.99 on the Nintendo eShop on June 14th, 2015, and was available until the eShop's shutdown on March 27th, 2023. However, it is also natively accessible in {{for3ds}} and is thus physically preserved.

Despite being an official control scheme for {{forwiiu}}, the 3DS was rarely used in tournaments. This was due to the logistical hurdles of either owning a copy of both games or paying ~~extra~~ to use the controller functionality, ~~and~~ the controls themselves ~~being~~ considered worse than alternatives due to the absence of a [[C-stick]]. However, the New 3DS and its built-in C-stick improved its viability as a controller and retroactively improved the 3DS entry by making it control more like other games in the series. By this point, however, the Smash Controller feature had been largely forgotten.

Despite being an official control scheme for {{forwiiu}}, the 3DS was rarely used in tournaments. This was due to the logistical hurdles of either owning a copy of both games, paying to use the controller functionality, or lacking a Wii U or controller while attending tournaments without a spare being available. Additionally, the controls themselves are generally considered far worse than alternatives due to ergonomic issues and the native absence of a [[C-stick]]. However, the New 3DS and its built-in C-stick, as well as the 3DS Circle Pad Pro, improved its viability as a controller and retroactively improved the 3DS entry by making it control more like other games in the series. By this point, however, the Smash Controller feature had been largely forgotten.

Due to the Nintendo eShop being shut down, the only way to access the Smash Controller software, outside of {{for3ds}}, is by manual installation through modding the 3DS hardware.
